I Am Polaris

I washed the brown dye from the roots of my hair, looking in the reflection to check you couldn't see any green. I sighed, back to normal.

It won’t work forever Charlotte

I started, dropping my hairbrush into the sink. I glanced around my bathroom, then went and looked around my flat.

You won’t find me. I’m in your head.

"How is that even possible? No wait, I am not doing this. Get out of my head!"

I’m just warning you Charlotte, Your control is remarkable, but supressing your abilities is unwise. They will grow stronger and stronger until they break you.

"I'll be fine thanks. Now get out."

The dye is inspired.

I growled. "Get out Xavier."

Goodbye. I’ll see you soon I’m sure.

“Don't count on it." I moved into my room and settled down in front of my books, before I could move to pick one up my mobile rang. I glanced at the screen. It was Ben. I sighed, answering it quickly.

“Hey Lottie. Mel’s just been sick. We need you in.”

“Bu-“

“Please Lottie. It’s only for an hour. We close at 11.” I glanced over at the clock.

“Ugh. Fine. But you owe me Ben.”

“Fine. Just get here.” I sighed and put the phone down, grabbing my uniform from where I’d dumped it on the floor, pulling it on and making my way out of my flat.
